WASHINGTON, D.C. (WILX) - U.S. Attorney General William Barr claimed he was not aware of threats made against Gov. Gretchen Whitmer by protesters who opposed her stay-at-home orders.

Barr defended himself; he said he has a responsibility for the federal government.
In a CNN interview Wednesday, Jayapal accused Barr of acting like Trumps personal attorney, and of not working for the people.
He says that hes not aware of these things, Jayapal said in the interview. But, you know, hes under oath. I cannot imagine that he was not aware of the protests in Michigan and the fact that the governor of Michigan had people with, you know, guns, and swastikas and Confederate flags, saying that they wanted to behead her. That makes no sense whatsoever. So I think he tells untruths.

And I can't believe he never reads the Washington Post or the NY Times. So this is a lie, but what else did we expect?

I can't believe he would read the Post or Times. If it wasn't on Fox News, Breitbart, or WingnutFeverDreams.com, he probably didn't know it.
